"When I was little, I was always told that I would be changing people's world someday,
one moment at a time."
"And now that I'm older,
I wonder if that actually happened."
"Or if it was just a dream,
that was never meant to come true."
I wish about a lot of things
But the first thing
I think I wish I was happy
And that's a bit dramatic
Cause I don't even know what it means
And I'm too scared to call myself a singer
And I'm too scared to call myself a writer
And I'm too scared to do something that matters
Doesn't matter
Wake up turn my PC on
It's another day
Another email check in
Nothing to say
Another ping, please and thank you
Scroll the news
Another twenty-two-year-old broke another world record
And I'm too scared to call myself a singer
And I'm too scared to call myself a writer
And I'm too scared to do something that matters
Does it matter?
Cause I wanna run away sometimes
Take a breath and wait a while
Why is love so hard to find?
Cause I wanna run away sometimes
Wipe the slate and start all over
Maybe this time I'll get it right
(I pull the trigger one more time)
Here's a journal entry from when I was seventeen
"Tomorrow won't feel any different from today
But take a step back, you've changed"
Now you're stuck in between
And I'm still scared to call myself a singer
And I'm still scared to call myself a writer
And I'm still scared to do something that matters
Does it matter?
Cause I wanna run away sometimes
Take a breath and wait a while
Why is love so hard to find?
Cause I wanna run away sometimes
Wipe the slate and start all over
Maybe this time I'll get it right
Cause I wanna run away sometimes
Take a breath and wait a while
Why is love so hard to find?
Cause I wanna run away sometimes
Wipe the slate and start all over
Maybe this time I'll get it right
(Oh I pull the trigger one more time)
When I was little I had a nightmare that I died
And I was buried, six feet under
And eaten to the bone
(Pull the trigger one more time)
When I was older
I realised it was the truth
And I wished about a lot of things
But the first thing I wished I would never
Have to die
Cause I wanna run away sometimes
Take a breath and wait a while
Why is love so hard to find?
Cause I wanna run away sometimes
Wipe the slate and start all over
Maybe this time I'll get it right
Cause I wanna run away
Why is love so hard to find?
Maybe this time I'll get it right
Maybe one more time so make it right
